Purple Strokes

Today's nails resulted - as so often - from a failed attempt on water marbling. I tried marbling with those polishes but they didn't work as good as I hoped so I just made a change of plans.

The base color is one coat of Essence - Iced Latte. Then I made some random horizontal brush strokes with Essie - In Stitches and added the final touch with Essie - Velvet Voyeur in the same manner. I actually really like how these turned out especially since I didn't plan it like this. It's a really fast design and doesn't take a lot of effort.

On top is one coat of Essie - Good To Go which smudged a tiny part on my ring finger nail. But I actually like the way that looks so maybe a design with some intentional smudging would be fun? :) We'll see!

I really love Velvet Voyeur and this was one of those moments when some regrets of having so many nail polishes popped up: I just can't use all of them a often as I'd like!
